Brittany & Normandy Family Biking

The stories are epic. Action-packed. Exciting. Sprung from a quiet corner of France. So unassuming. Yet the scene of some of history’s most heroic acts. Think Vikings. William the Conqueror. Faithful pilgrims. Allies landing. These stories really happened. And you’ll know it. When you stand on windswept beaches by abandoned gun posts. Gaze at the spire of Mont-St-Michel’s cathedral. You may be speechless. But not the kids. Biking. Horseback riding. Glass blowing. Clearly "action-packed" is not a thing of the past.

Discover the rich history and culture of two of France's most intriguing regions Bike rolling country roads along must-see beaches Awe-inspiring architecture of Mont-St-Michel World War II battle sights and memorials Kids explore beautiful Normandy countryside on horseback
